Happy with his latest announcement of disbanding all his fan clubs, Ajith celebrated his birthday in a silent way on Sunday, by spending the day with wife Shalini and daughter Anoushka.

“There were calls from fans to meet the Thala on his big day and to request him to reconsider the decision. But he was firm on it (dissolving fan clubs) and politely denied the requests,” sources say.

Meanwhile, most Ajith fans are happy with the decision, saying that their ‘Thala’ will now be celebrated by one and all and not by a particular section. “He is already liked by fans of other stars and many actors themselves are Thala fans,” they say.

As a birthday gift to Ajith, ‘Mankatha’ crew led by director Venkat Pabhu on Sunday midnight launched a song-trailer of the film on the net. “Since we were unable to release Mankatha audio on May 1, we decided to gift Ajith anna this teaser,” says Venkat Prabhu.
